Two Acres. One Extraordinary Pool. Minutes from Lake Minnetonka. Some homes ask you to imagine the lifestyle. This one already lives it. Tucked on a private cul-de-sac in Orono, this five-bedroom, five-bath estate sits on two wooded acres — space you feel the moment you turn up the drive. A neighborhood walking path loops a pond and fountain just beyond the property line, setting the tone before you even reach the front door. Then there’s the pool. A 60-foot saltwater pool anchored by a stone fire feature, its flames reflecting off a cascading waterfall that spills right into the water. A built-in saltwater hot tub for the mornings you want quiet and the nights you want company. And above it all, a screened porch with its own gas fireplace — the kind of spot where “just for a minute” turns into two hours, easily. Inside, the primary suite claims the upper level alongside three more bedrooms and a flex room built for two home offices — or the reading nook you’ve always wanted. A fifth bedroom on the lower level offers guests a comfortable retreat of their own. The main floor is made for real life: a formal dining room for the holidays, an eat-in kitchen with a center island, natural woodwork and hardwood floors that tie it all together. Two stone, gas-burning fireplaces — one up, one down — mean there’s always a spot to land. The lower-level walkout adds a wet bar and exercise room, opening straight onto the pool deck. Zoned in-floor heat, integrated smart home technology, and a heated garage handle the details so you don’t have to. Westonka schools. Lake Minnetonka’s marinas, dining, and shoreline, just minutes away. Homes like this don’t come up often — and they don’t last long when they do.
